The Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) will hold its annual Giving Day on June 25, bringing together broadcasters nationwide for a one-day fundraising campaign to support radio and television professionals facing severe financial hardship.

The initiative raises money for broadcasters affected by catastrophic illness, natural disasters and other life-changing circumstances that create urgent financial needs.

The Foundation said the campaign aims to encourage participation from both individuals and broadcast companies while increasing awareness of its mission to assist industry professionals during times of crisis.

"We have a responsibility to stand beside our fellow broadcasters when devastating illness or catastrophe turns their lives upside down," said BFOA President Tim McCarthy. "Giving Day is an opportunity for every broadcaster - individuals and companies alike -- to make a meaningful difference for colleagues facing unimaginable challenges."

McCarthy added that the campaign reflects the industry's long-standing tradition of supporting its own. "Together we can ensure no broadcaster faces hardship alone," he said.

The Broadcasters Foundation highlighted its charitable credentials, noting that it has earned a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid as well as a 100% Give With Confidence Score and Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator.

This year's Giving Day coincides with the Foundation's annual Media Mixer, an event designed to connect emerging broadcast professionals with senior industry executives. The organization recently announced that veteran radio executive Dan Mason will headline the event, sharing career insights drawn from his experience as both an on-air broadcaster and former leader of CBS Radio.

Founded to provide financial assistance to broadcasters in need, the Broadcasters Foundation of America serves radio and television professionals across the U.S. who encounter unexpected personal and financial challenges.
